Im in Ollague. Everything is good.

Alive and well. Finally have fast internet but they won´t let me plug in my laptop at the hotel internet cafe. Sheesh. Maybe tomorrow.

Incredible scenery for the last couple days. No wifi so other posts are on hold. One of these days I´ll have to bring my laptop into an internet cafe and try that. Everything else good. Heading down to the coast in a couple days so I make it out of Ecuador by the 17th.

I usually don’t ramble on about real world issues unless it’s to berate dogs, hippies, Sarah Palin, greedy people or stupid people (oops, I just said the same thing three times) but this Wikileaks thing deserves some mention.

Wikileaks–I love them. To be clear, I love the fact that the US government is having its dirty laundry aired.

I’m sill here. It’s been raining non-stop for 3 days now. I was bored and needed some abuse so I posted what’s called an Ask Me Anything post on Reddit. So far its been pretty cool. There were lots of great questions and at least one that no one has ever asked me before.

I hear it might stop raining either Thursday or Friday. I’ll leave then.
